Consequently, all sorts of unpaid creative-powers, devoid of wage, which ameliorate, streamline, and develop, the socio-economic processes of bourgeois-state-capitalism are always active, in and across the stratums of the military-industrial-complex, manufacturing value. Moreover, all sorts of unpaid creative-powers, continue to function and operate, without monetary recognition and/or acknowledgment. The reason is the duplicitous, mercenary aims of the military-industrial-complex, whose ideational comprehensive framework, the logic of capitalism, has always functioned and operated on some form of zero-wage work, i.e., unpaid creative-power, in one manner or another. Thus, we must overthrow capitalism.
